Chapter 195: Zhu Fang (Middle)

Seeing Cheng Lao go out, Cheng Feihu's whole person was relieved.

However, Feihu's eyes still looked at Zhou You, hoping that Zhou You could give him a clear explanation. Or rather, he hoped that Zhou You would ensure victory this time, otherwise the two of them would be disgraced and go home.

Zhou You soothed: "Brother Cheng, don't worry, like last time, if I can, I even dare to smash the gourd bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly in public to verify its authenticity." ”

"It's enough to have your words!"

Having said that, if Cheng Feihu still wants to explain, then it is not appropriate to travel around as a friend and brother.

Zhou You didn't think about it so much, he was looking at Cheng Lao's collection with interest. The four treasures of the study on the pineapple desk are all high-quality products, and looking at their furnishings, Cheng Lao should often practice calligraphy or something, every item, even the paper is neatly packed and convenient.

Perhaps because of the relationship between the best Ziyun inkstone, the first thing you see when traveling is the inkstone on the pineapple desk, and if you look closely, it is really a high-quality product.

Although Cheng Lao is not extravagant enough to practice with an antique inkstone, the inkstone on the pineapple wood desk can be described as a fine product in modern craftsmanship, and its price is not acceptable to ordinary people.

You must know that the current Duanyan pit has been closed due to tunnel blockage, landslide and government protection, so that the Duanyan resources are less and less, and now the sales are all the inkstones mined before, and there is one less piece to sell, so the collection value of Duanyan is getting higher and higher, and the appreciation potential is getting bigger and bigger. A slightly better inkstone is often measured in thousands, and the high-quality ones are calculated in tens of thousands, and the modeling and carving work have reached the level of the old desk, and its value is more than 100,000.

That is to say, Cheng Lao used the famous inkstone, which can be called a work of art, as a consumable.

Syllable!

When Zhou You wanted to figure out this modern inkstone more carefully, the door was pushed open roughly, and then Cheng Lao came in with several people who seemed to be quite qualified, and the youngest one was even holding the gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly.

It seems that they are also serious when they become old.

An old man, who was no younger than Cheng Lao, looked at Zhou You very unceremoniously and asked coldly: "You are the one who said that this gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly is a fake?"

Zhou You didn't bother to answer this rude.

"That's him!"

Cheng Lao nodded and replied: "He is Xu Lao's proud disciple Zhou You, and he once identified Cheng Fang's cutting-edge for Mr. Cheng." ”

The rude old man was stunned for a moment, and finally returned to calm.

However, he does not express his position, which does not represent the attitude of others who are comfortable and traveling. The middle-aged man holding the gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly said very unceremoniously: "Even if he is a disciple of Xu Lao, it does not necessarily prove that what he said must be correct. You must know that this time is not only related to the honor of Boss Cheng, but also to the reputation of our group of treasure connoisseurs. ”

Indeed, the treasure connoisseurs of the entire Yongjian Museum have confirmed that the gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly is genuine, and it has been on public display for a long time. If the gourd-style bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly is really a fake, it will not only be a collective eye-catcher, but also a great damage to their reputation.

Zhou You can understand the other party's anger, but he doesn't accept their impoliteness, just looks at Cheng Lao, hoping that he can say something.

Cheng Lao put the gourd bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly on the desk, and asked very humbly: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know if you can give us some guidance?"

Zhou You reminded: "If you want the most conclusive evidence, it is best to bring a luminaire and a pinhole camera." If you want to dictate, then I will explain it to you now. ”

When Cheng Lao heard this, the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, but he still said patiently: "Wait a minute for the luminaire and pinhole camera, let's listen to your analysis first." ”

Zhou You smiled at the panicked eyes of the other treasure connoisseurs of the Yongjian Museum, and then said in a very confident tone: "I believe you also know that the shape of the early Ming Dynasty blue and white ribbon ear gourd bottle originated from the bronze ware of the Arab region of West Asia, and it is a famous product of blue and white in the Ming Dynasty. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory was newly raised, and the style of imitating the ancient was prevalent, among which the imitation of the Ming Dynasty could be almost chaotic, and there were many famous artists in modern times because of this. ”

Cheng Lao's heart was sent slightly, and he asked, "You mean that this porcelain is not from the Yongle period, but from the Qing Dynasty?"

I didn't want to travel around, but I shook my head firmly.

Under everyone's increasingly confused eyes, Zhou You continued: "This is the first feature. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the circle foot of the gourd bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly was square, but the shape of the Ming Dynasty was mostly oval. ”

"Wait!"

The middle-aged man thought that traveling around was nothing more than that, and used this as a breakthrough to refute: "We can't study this problem, but in the book "Blue and White Porcelain in the Early Ming Dynasty in the Palace Museum", it is said that Kangxi's gourd bottle with ribbon ears and flat belly was fired according to the Ming Dynasty, one-to-one. ”

Zhou You did read the book "Blue and White Porcelain in the Early Ming Dynasty in the Palace Museum", but it was still when he was a student, and Xu Lao specially asked everyone to study it, and he had to write about his experience afterwards. It's a pity that when Xu Lao commented on this book, he also pointed out some of the mistakes and omissions, and there happened to be one place that could be used here.

Seeing that Zhou You could still laugh, everyone was stunned, and even Cheng Feihu felt inexplicable.

"Open your computer or your database!"

Zhou You said very casually, igniting the atmosphere of struggle in the scene, and then Zhou You said: "You go find a few real Ming blue and white silk gourd bottles with ears and flat belly, and see if their ring feet are oval or square." ”

Sure enough, when such a treasure connoisseur opened the database established by the Yongjian Museum himself, he really found that most of the Ming blue and white silk gourd bottles with ears and flat belly were oval and circle-footed.

At this moment, the scene boiled.

Several old qualifications, including Cheng Lao, were discussed, and there was a vague taste of argument and quarrel.

The middle-aged man still didn't give up, and said very far-fetchedly: "Maybe this is a special case." And this may not confirm that it is a fake, at most it can only be said that it may be a clear blue and white ribbon ear flat belly gourd bottle. ”

"Dead ducks are the hardest!"

Zhou You muttered in his heart, and said lightly: "Okay, we can ignore the carelessness of this imitator and treat it as a more special Ming blue and white ribbon ear flat belly gourd bottle." ”

After a pause, Zhou You pointed to the protruding string patterns in his ears and said, "Look here, there are still imitation bronze features here. ”

Let's take a closer look, it's really as Zhou You said.

Cheng Lao said suspiciously: "This blue and white ribbon ear flat-bellied gourd bottle has the style of the early Ming Dynasty in many places, such as the small round-mouthed gourd-shaped bottle body, the upper part of the spherical shape, etc., including the imitation bronze features you refer to are all in the early Ming Dynasty style. ”

Zhou You nodded and replied: "There is no doubt that the shape of the whole vessel is simple, the white glaze is green, the blue and white hair color is strong, the painting is smooth, and it has a very distinct style of the early Ming Dynasty." But the question is, why did these things appear in such a distinct style of the early Ming Dynasty?"

At the end of Zhou You, he pointed to the blue-and-white bearded singing and dancing picture.

Cheng Lao became more and more confused, and asked: "Please forgive the old man for not seeing the slightest flaw." ”

It is difficult to see that Zhou You knows this: "You should know that this porcelain follows the custom route of the Arab region of West Asia, but don't you think there is any difference between the clothing of these Hu people and the Arab national costume in our impression?"

"It's a bit of a discrepancy!"

Rao is not an in-depth study of antiques, Cheng Feihu also saw that something was wrong, and the other so-called treasure connoisseurs couldn't see it, but they couldn't speak.

Cheng Lao's face was extremely ugly at this time, and his body trembled slightly.

Zhou You knew that some people might not be reconciled, and continued to increase his persuasiveness: "The clothing style is meaninglessly substituted by the maker into the characteristics of a certain era, and there is a mistake, such a thing is absolutely unique in the rigorous ancient porcelain, and can even be described as distorted." But there's another point, I guess you haven't seen it yet. ”

Cheng Lao had already sat down, and replied weakly: "Say it, so that we can die." ”

Zhou You asked weakly: "Don't you think this porcelain is too perfect in terms of shape and flowing lines?"

Hearing this, everyone moved.

Yes, the shape and blue and white of this porcelain are so perfectly constructed that they are simply impeccable. With the ancient manufacturing process, only those superb porcelains that cost countless manpower and are powerless can have such achievements, and those are almost unique and rare treasures, which are not comparable to the mass-produced export porcelain of the Ming blue and white ribbon ear flat-bellied gourd bottle.

Zhou You was not so cruel, and gave them a little confidence at the end: "These are the words of the kid's family, and they can't be taken care of." You can wait for the arrival of the luminaire and pinhole camera, reach into the inside of the porcelain to take a look, and perhaps mark the hidden parts of the interior like the last Cheng Fang. ”

"Good!"

Cheng Lao seemed to have figured out something and stood up.

However, after all, Cheng Lao is a human spirit who has rolled around in society, looked at the faces of the people around him, and asked for Zhou You very bluntly: "Mr. Zhou, the old man has a reluctant invitation here." ”

Zhou You naturally wanted to find out what Cheng Lao wanted to say, but he still replied very politely: "Please Cheng Lao just tell me, if it is something within the kid's ability, I will definitely obey it." ”

With the step of traveling around, Cheng Lao's heart was much more relaxed, and he pleaded: "Thank you Mr. Zhou for your reminder, we will never forget." However, Lao Yu hopes that Mr. Zhou can keep it a secret for us, and treat today's events as a lifelong secret and not pass it on to the public. ”

"Of course!"

Zhou You gave a very positive answer.

"Thank you!"

Cheng Lao is very happy and admires the knowledge and interest of traveling.

With such a terrifying ability to appreciate treasures at such a young age, and such a detached mind, he will definitely be the second Xu Lao in the future. It is also a great blessing in misfortune to be able to achieve the most basic tacit understanding with such a potential young person now. Perhaps in the near future, today will not be an unlucky day for the Yongjian Museum, but not necessarily a lucky day.

"The instrument is here!"

At this time, the middle-aged man who was repeatedly dissatisfied with the surroundings suddenly shouted, interrupting Cheng Lao's train of thought.
